Singapore Airlines is unveiling its new First and Business Class seats in Singapore on 7 November 2026, and it is clearing the decks first. Three weeks after announcing more than 100 new dishes and Christofle tableware, the airline on 14 October revealed the amenities that go with them: Sisley replaces Lalique in Suites and First Class, with separate men’s and women’s kits for the first time; Byredo replaces Le Labo in Business Class, with a fragrance in the kit for the first time; and Business Class passengers finally get sleeper suits, something SIA has withheld from its most important cabin for decades while most of its competitors handed them out. Premium Economy and Economy get new kits too. The rollout starts progressively from November on flights above six hours.
The Singapore Airlines new amenity kits are the smallest thing an airline can change and the thing passengers photograph most, which is why the choice of brands matters. Here is what each cabin gets, when, and how it fits into a US$1.1 billion cabin programme that has slipped from mid-2026 into 2027.
Singapore Airlines New Amenity Kits: Key Facts
- Announced: 14 October 2026, Singapore; rollout progressively from November 2026 on flights above six hours
- Suites and First Class kit: Sisley, replacing Lalique — women’s kit with the Sisleÿa range (L’Intégral Anti-Age Cream, Eye and Lip Contour Cream, Essential Skin Care Lotion, L’Eau Rêvée d’Eliya fragrance, Black Rose Cream Mask, Restorative Hand Cream); men’s kit with Sisleÿum (Anti-Age Mattifying Gel-Cream, L’Eau Rêvée d’Alma fragrance, Ecological Compound, All Day All Year protection, Nutritive Lip Balm, Restorative Hand Cream); SIA says it is the only airline to offer both ranges
- Suites and First sleepwear: dark grey 100 per cent cotton sleeper suits in four sizes with a batik motif on the placket and side seams, coral-fleece slippers and eyeshades
- Suites and First lavatories: Sisley Eau de Campagne fragrance and body lotion, floral spray mist, dental kits and mouthwash
- Changi lounges: shower suites in The Private Room and the First Class SilverKris Lounges at Terminals 2 and 3 switch to Sisley Hair Rituel and Eau de Campagne products
- Business Class kit: Byredo, replacing Le Labo — grey zip pouch with Blanche Eau de Parfum, Blanche hand cream, lip balm, eyeshades, socks and a dental kit; the first fragrance spray in an SIA Business kit, and SIA says the first airline to carry Byredo’s Blanche range
- Business Class sleepwear (new): navy poly-cotton relaxed-fit sleeper suits in two sizes with tone-on-tone batik print, and grey slippers — the first time Business Class has had sleepwear; on all long-haul flights and selected overnight medium-haul flights above six hours
- Business Class lavatories: Byredo Blanche hand and body lotion and a vitamin E chamomile toner, replacing Payot
- Premium Economy: new SIA-designed recycled zip pouch with hand strap and embossed batik motif, containing an exclusive white-tea lip balm by Australian brand Ink & Water, eyeshades, socks and a dental kit; now on flights above six hours rather than seven
- Economy: a drawstring pouch with the batik motif, eyeshades, socks and a dental kit, which SIA calls collectible
- Next: new First and Business Class seats unveiled 7 November 2026 at Marina Bay Sands; fleet rollout on 41 Airbus A350-900s from the first quarter of 2027 in a US$1.1 billion programme; the A350 long-haul layout becomes 42 Business, 24 Premium Economy and 192 Economy, and the ultra-long-range A350s gain four First Class seats, 70 Business and 58 Premium Economy

Sisley, Byredo and the Brand Ladder
Airlines use amenity brands to say where their cabins sit, and SIA has just moved every rung. Lalique, the French crystal house that supplied Suites and First for a decade, was a heritage choice; Sisley is a skincare house whose Sisleÿa cream retails at several hundred dollars a jar, and splitting the kit into men’s and women’s versions — Sisleÿa for one, Sisleÿum for the other — is the sort of thing Air France does in La Première and few others bother with. Byredo in Business is a sharper signal still: Le Labo, the outgoing brand, was shared with other carriers, while Byredo’s Blanche is a cult fragrance SIA says no other airline carries, and putting a full eau de parfum spray in a Business kit rather than a balm or a mist is new for the airline.
The lounges follow the aircraft. Sisley moves into the showers of The Private Room and the First Class SilverKris Lounges at Changi, which means a Suites passenger meets the same brand from the shower before departure to the lavatory on board. That kind of continuity is what the November seat reveal is likely to be built around.
Business Class Pyjamas, Finally
The sleeper suit is the real news for most travellers. Singapore Airlines has long been the obvious exception among premium carriers in not providing pyjamas in Business Class — Qatar, Qantas and the US carriers’ long-haul business cabins all do — and the omission has been a standard complaint in reviews of an otherwise excellent cabin for years. From November, Business passengers on all long-haul flights and on selected medium-haul overnight flights above six hours get a navy poly-cotton relaxed-fit suit in two sizes with a batik print, plus slippers. Two sizes is fewer than the four offered in Suites and First, and the fabric is a blend rather than the cotton upstairs, but on a 13-hour overnight from Singapore to London or Frankfurt the difference between sleeping in a suit and sleeping in your clothes is the one that counts.
The open question is who gets the kit. SIA’s wording says Business Class customers “will receive” a Byredo kit, and it is not yet clear whether that means every passenger on every eligible flight or, as before, on request. The six-hour threshold is also new for Premium Economy, which brings a long list of regional overnight flights into the kit programme for the first time.
Tip: the kits and sleeper suits arrive “progressively” from November, aircraft by aircraft and route by route — if the Sisley kit is the point of your Suites booking, fly from December rather than the first week of November, and ask the crew for the men’s or women’s version, since both are loaded.
The Seats Come Next
Everything SIA has announced this autumn — the dishes, the Christofle, the kits, the pyjamas — is the wrapping around a cabin programme that is a year late. The US$1.1 billion A350 refit was due to finish in mid-2026; supply-chain delays and a seat certification pushed the reveal to 7 November 2026 and the fleet rollout to the first quarter of 2027. When the seats are shown at Marina Bay Sands, the long-haul A350-900s get 42 Business seats with privacy doors, 24 Premium Economy and 192 Economy, and the seven ultra-long-range A350s that fly Singapore–New York and Newark gain a four-seat First Class cabin for the first time, with 70 Business and 58 Premium Economy behind it. That makes the Sisley kit and sleeper suit the first First Class soft product designed for an aircraft that has never carried First.
In the meantime the new amenities fly on the existing cabins — the 2013 First Class and 2017 Suites on the 777-300ER and A380, and the current Business Class across the long-haul fleet — so the upgrade reaches passengers months before the hardware does.
Singapore Airlines Amenities, First-Hand Context
I have not flown Singapore Airlines’ Suites or First Class and this is a preview of an announcement. My comparison for premium-cabin amenities on a long overnight is Etihad’s 787-9 business class, which I rated 3.5 out of 5, and Emirates’ 777, where the kit and bedding were part of what made a dated seat comfortable; Qatar has just added Diptyque kits on its Australian routes and Delta a new Missoni kit, so SIA’s Byredo move puts it level with the best in Business and, with separate Sisleÿa and Sisleÿum kits, ahead of almost everyone in First. I wrote about the dining overhaul and Christofle serviceware earlier this month; this is the second instalment of the same relaunch.
How Much Does It Cost?
Nothing changes on the fare: the Sisley and Byredo kits, the sleeper suits and the new lavatory products are included in Suites, First, Business and Premium Economy on eligible flights above six hours, and the Economy pouch is included on the same sectors. SIA’s fares are dynamic and KrisFlyer award pricing is unchanged; Singapore to London, Paris, Frankfurt, New York, Los Angeles and Sydney are the sectors where Suites and First are most consistently available, and the ultra-long-range New York flights are the ones that gain a First Class cabin in 2027.
Flight prices do move between platforms. The same business class seat on the same date is not always the same price on the airline’s own site, Trip.com and Expedia: point-of-sale currency, consolidator fares and what is bundled into the ticket can shift the fare by a few percent — and occasionally by much more on premium cabins. So before I pay I run the same dates through Aviasales, which scans dozens of booking sites at once, then check Trip.com (often the sharpest on long-haul fares) and Expedia (strongest when you add a hotel to the same booking). One caveat: a ticket bought through a booking site is changed or refunded through that site, not the airline, so read the fare rules before you buy.
Sisley upstairs, Byredo in Business and pyjamas at last — Singapore Airlines has finished dressing the cabin; on 7 November it shows the seats.
